I, for one, would like for voters to be able to tell parties what they like so that parties can deliver what their constituents desire

It’s only 8 AM and I’m already tired of takes blaming voters for going out and stating their preferences in a primary election. Getting mad at voters, hundreds of thousands of them, for voting for who they wanted and not who you think was “savvy” is foolish.
“Fund the police” was very cute, very clever, until your popularity with Black male voters dropped and the police unions endorsed the guy who launched January 6 anyway
It’s almost as if the Democrats are in favor of much of Trump’s agenda.
Craig R. Brittain@craigbrittain.com · yesterdayChuck Schumer on voting to keep funding ICE and DHS while punting the ball until December, after the midterms: "This CR gives us the time to continue hashing out a budget. Senate Democrats will always be willing to work across the aisle."
God get this man out of office. wanting to fund Trump’s secret police through the midterms means he wants to fund them indefinitely

I have a theory that a big chunk of the socialist fear mongering by liberals is really about the fact that it’s perceived as a youth movement and godforbid the young exert political power
Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social · yesterdayNope, nice try. Not doing this to myself. You'll have to kill my ass
I'd rather pay to deliver a banana to a family than a fucking missile.

Hmm. It's a stumper. Let's see, which countries are the ones where healthcare (a huge factor as you age) is tied to employment in a society with an unstable employment market with layoff threats always looming and where people over 50 are not so subtly pushed out the door? Is it Sweden? No?
Depresh Mode with John Moe@depreshmode.bsky.social · 2d agoIn some countries, depression, loneliness, and memory issues actually improve in middle age. Almost everywhere else, they at least stay steady. And in only ONE country, they get WORSE . I'll give you three guesses and you have to forfeit the first two. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...
👀 "One almost wonders if it was jammed through an AI program and sent for publishing. It's that bad - like Tommy Wisseau's The Room bad - to the point that if you grew up watching Hogan, the mistakes will give you a headaches trying to wrap your head around the book while reading it".

Hmm, sounds like a better use of taxpayers funds than on million-dollar warheads to kill people on the other side of the world but who can say

please do not eat the diarrhea lettuce or they’ll report that you died from being a little stomach bitch
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
Batman in The Dark Knight (2008): I have to use mass surveillance tools in order to save Gotham. I struggle with this, but will have to learn to live with my decision. Spider-Man in Brand New Day (2026): I'm scanning the faces of everyone in NYC and IDGAF 🤪😜
Tommy had to look at the camera with that "please hire me" face on.
David Bixenspan@davidbix.com · 2d agoThe Busted Open guys all fisted each other on the air. All four of them.
This is framed like Moxley is dead and they're paying tribute to him when in reality he was sitting at home not thinking about the fuckin' Shield
Jesus Zoidberg: 40s is the new 20s.@jesuszoidberg.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is so corny.
Chad Gable wins the IC Title, celebrates with his family and then has to move them out of the way of the hard cam so they don't ruin the shot of him downing root beer with a bulldog mascot
It's something Meltzer has explicitly copped to and I think holds true for a lot of media pundits as well: the Fed gets rated on a sliding scale relative only to itself. Guys can wrestle like trash and it only matters in the context of other recent Fed events, not the broader competitive field.
David Bixenspan@davidbix.com · 2d agoHow is Rollins being beyond washed physically not the big narrative coming out of this match? He's moving like Hiroshi Tanahashi without the restraint of picking his spots. (Reigns isn't exactly moving well, either, and his offense also looks like shit.)
The WWE style has gotten so slow and loose and floaty that their fans can't tell when the stars are physically washed. Holy brainwashing. The baby brained sloptarts would just eat up 1990 Andre the Giant matches with THIS IS AWESOME chants.
We're destroying the planet so Mario Lopez can post weird AI fetish content about his own niece.

Idk how you can listen to everything Mox has said about his mental and emotional state while in WWE and still be hoping he’ll return
Wrestling Observer / Figure Four Online@wonf4w.bsky.social · 2d ago
I have done too many episodes of Shocktober to count but one of the enduring memories I have is Howard Stern seeing a drug commercial that has the song magic in it and saying “oh oh oh I hate this” because it really cemented how washed he is
when people think they're making an incredibly nuanced argument and it's like a toddler getting upset that they gave you a banana and are now shocked that there is no banana for them to eat
the wwe problem in a nutshell. it’s all just aura-farming entrances and the people politely sitting on their laps until the other big moment comes
Zack Heydorn@zackheydorn.bsky.social · 3d agoThe live audience doesn't care enough about who is going to win this match. Now that the big entrances are done, their response has been tempered. #SummerSlam
Cunningham was a superstar in high school and cannot deal with the fact that she’s an incredibly middling role player who comes off the bench in the WNBA and simply isn’t a relevant player. The only way she can get any attention is by vocally hating trans people.
